I think the key takeaways that I take from it are (of course, I wrote it, so ymmv): If the system doesn't work for you, it doesn't mean you're not capable. Follow your passions, not external dictates. Try to get as many different perspectives on life as you can. Coding is making credentialing and "proving" you can do something much easier. As for luck, I have a bad habit of framing things as lucky, and to some extent they are, but there was also hard work behind them. You have an interesting story, thanks for sharing it.
